A year ago last February, I got a Fujifilm S6500fd for my birthday to start on photography. In that time I have enjoyed taking photographs, although I haven't been out as often as I would like. But I have taken part in a monthly photo competition of a very small computery forum I am a member of, and I actually won last year's one.
After going to Wimbledon for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and enjoying taking photographs, I have been wondering how much I could get out of a DSLR. I was a long way back in the stands and so had to zoom in a long way to get a close up of the players. When it comes to action shots, would a DSLR with its burst mode and better performance at higher ISOs be much better and hopefully improve my shots?
If I come to the conclusion that a DSLR would be a good step forward, I have been looking at the Canon EOS 40D as it has a burst mode of 6.5fps and gets fantastic reviews. I am also interested in the 500D but it can't shoot as high a frame rate and it doesn't seem to be able to shoot as many RAW. I have no idea what there is from Nikon in a similar bracket to the 40D, can anyone suggest anything?
